I got a Surface Pro 3 a couple weeks ago, and I've noticed WiFi sucks on this device (bad range and speeds are on the ground) most of the time. I've already googled this problem and tried all I can do about software and drivers for the included wifi card, as I don't think there's much to do on the hardware side, besides getting a usb wifi adapter.
Here goes my question, can someone recommend a good and small wifi adapter? I mean, I want something with better range, that at least gets me the 10mb speed that I've got at home and in the smallest size possible, as I don't want to increase the footprint of this device.
I feel kinda of ashamed for such a silly question considering I know a thing or two about computers, but I'm a total ignorant on networking so forgive me if the answer is simple.
Thanks!

It seems like a good dongle, but I was looking for something on this size:

It's just that the size leads me to believe their range might suck as well, so if you could recommend me one in that size that does actually have a good range or if I should just stay away from them and get the one you've already recommend me.
Thanks.
